> avoiding single points of failure I still don't understand how so many businesses simply ignore this problem. The network is assumed far too often to be reliable and ubiquitous, even among people who have years of experience with radio dead zones, oversubscription, and the numerous other ways networks fail. > reachable 24/7 While 24/7 (or other excessively long periods of time) should simply be banned for basic health and safety reasons, I do understand that on-call time is unavoidable for some businesses. The catch is that any on-call time needs to be paid. How much payment is open to negotiation, but if you are expected to restrict your life such that you can be called in for overtime, then some amount of compensation is required. If this seems impossible due to being paid a salary instead of wages, overtime limitations/restrictions, or similar nonsense... that's what unions are for.
